Scary Note

Just a short note this week. Halloween is here and I'm hiding under the duvet, scared of the dark and my own reflection.

• This week I've finished binging both The Haunting of Bly Manor and The Haunting of Hill House. Would I recommend them? No. Would I binge The Haunting of [Some Other Old Building], advertised with a slightly different thumbnail image? Yes.
• I like horror but usually rely on others to make me watch them. I'm a big scaredy cat. Especially when it comes to paranormal horror. Maybe it stems from a legitimate fear of hallucination.
• The Haunting of [Whenever] series aren't too scary but I legitimately woke up from a nightmare this week involving the demon from the Insidious film. I don't even remember the plot anymore but I still think about the demon's face and that music. "Tip toeee, throughhhh the tulipsss, throughhhh the meadowwww, by the willowww tree, come tip toeee, throughhhh the tulipsss, with meeeee, ooooo!" No thanks mate! Thinking about taking up the tulips actually.
• At work I've spent a lot of time working on presentation slides this week. I have a lot of respect for the people who regularly deliver interesting tech talks, and deliver them well. It's a skill I need to work on. Planning and delivery 😅 If anyone has any tips or learning resources I'm open to recommendations.
• Did anything else happen this week? Most definitely. But I have vegetables to buy don't you know? Before the rain starts. Byyyyeee!
